Miner

Mining is a job that can be assigned to colonists. To place the job, select the Miner Job Block from the stockpile and put it in your hotbar. Then place the Job Block on an appropriate spot. Appropriate spots are dark stone blocks or any of the ores amongst it. Miners must be placed on top the ore to mine it. The arrow indicator does not mean they will mine the block it is pointing at, it is purely an aesthetic feature to allow you to control the direction your miners face while they work. Miners regularly have to drop off the ore they mined. It is recommended to place a Crate, Gorcery Store and Tool Shop nearby so that they can access the stockpile.
